Hacienda San Juan del Mon- 

 te; best field in the hacien- 

 da. 300 meters from river.

 ured and the sugar made 

 from it weighed. It is said 

 to have yielded 116 piculs 

 (7.35 metric tons) per hec- 

 tare. Surface soil light 

 loam; subsoil at about 35 

 centimeters, brownish clay 

 and yellow .sand well mixed. 



Hacienda San Juan del Mon- 

 te; worst land, 1 kilometer 

 from river, not planted this 

 vear. Last season yielded 

 about 50 piculs (3.16 metric

 this field can not be plowed 

 for three days, while No. 19 

 can be plowed the next day.

 1 soil, planted for the first 

 time two years ago. Origi- 

 I nallv an old sugar mill on

 ■ large and luxuriantly here, 

 but nearly all fallen down 

 and yields a very poor qual- 

 ity of sugar. Soil a light 

 loam, inclined to be sandy: 

 ; subsoil at 60 centimeters, 

 1 very little difference from 

 ; surface, perhaps a trifle 

 I more clay. 



Hacienda Zaragoza. Red 

 clav, .Siiid to be poor soil for 

 caiie, as it grows large but 

 waterv. Subsoil at 25 centi- 

 meters, stiff red clay, which

 meters. 

 [Hacienda Zaragoza. White

 very stiff white clay. 

 Hacienda Progreso. High 

 land, best cane soil, said to 

 vield Nos. 1 and 2 sugar. 

 Soil light loam, slightly yel- 

 lowish tinge and many 

 stones. This hacienda is 

 the farthest interior, toward 

 the mountains, in the Bago 

 district Subsoil at about 25 

 centimeters, brownish clay 

 and sand; below 60 centi- 

 meters, some gravel. 

 Hacienda Progreso. Lower 

 land, but much the same 

 general appearance as num-

 cane, but a poor quality of 

 sugar. No. 3 and "cor- 

 riente."
